Jewish settlers attacked Palestinian property near Ramallah, torching 20 cars in a bold raid around 3 a.m. in the Al-Bireh area. Approximately a dozen masked assailants used petrol bombs, and when residents, including Ihab al-Zaben, attempted to intervene, they were shot at by the attackers. The Israeli police and security agencies have initiated an investigation into the incident. This act of violence, part of a broader trend of escalating settler aggression, has drawn international condemnation, prompting some governments, including the United States, to impose sanctions on violent settlers. The Palestinian Authority condemned the attack, calling for comprehensive sanctions against the entire settler-colonial system. Hamas officials described the incident as a significant escalation that necessitates a stronger response. The situation remains tense, with settler violence worsening amid ongoing conflict in Gaza and broader disputes over the legality of settlements in the West Bank.
